Transport in fits and starts between strikes and positive employees at home. After last week's train strike, a 14-hour stop arrives on Friday 4 January local public transport in the main Italian cities and which risks causing serious inconvenience to workers and students. But it is only the tip of the iceberg for the transport system, if we add up the difficulties caused by the increases in raw material prices and the trips canceled in recent weeks due to quarantines. At the basis of the protest proclaimed by the trade union organizations (Cgil, Cisl, Uil, Faisa Cisal and Ugl), the interruption of the discussion on the renewal of the collective agreement category.
To understand the origin of the protest we need to take a step back. The CCNL expired on 31 December 2017 and from this deadline "a bridging agreement until 2020 was signed which only settled an economic arrears for the three-year period already elapsed". In light of this situation, the national secretariats unanimously ask not only for the recognition of the right to renew the national collective labor agreement but also for the improvement of working conditions, both in terms of legislation and wages, for all workers in local public transport .
The strike will affect urban and suburban buses, metro, trams and railways in the main Italian cities: a Torino from 18 to 22; to GenoVa from 10.30 to 14.30, a Milan from 8.45 to 12.45; to Venice from 10 to 14; to Bologna from 12 to 16; to Florence from 18 to 22; to Rome from 8.30 to 12.30; to Napoli from 9 to 13; to Bari from 8.30 to 12.30; to Palermo from 9.30 to 13.30. During strike times, urban, suburban and suburban public transport services will not be guaranteed.
